Proposed changes to aut-num policy syntax in RPSLng

  I have not yet received any comments on these changes. I've gone ahead
and produced a new Internet Draft based on the text below.  It's
currently available at
http://www.radb.net/rpslng-03.html
and
http://www.radb.net/rpslng-03.txt


  The IETF Secretariat is not accepting new drafts until March 1.
